Hyötyläinen

Mixed Breed · Male

When Mr. Hyötyläinen came to the animal shelter, it was considered whether this cat should become a pet. It was a skinny, non-fattening ragamuffin with ears full of fluff. But when he took it in his arms, it clung tightly and started purring. It was decided to try and find a kind cat person for it. Last week, Mr. Hanski Hyötyläinen went to the vet for the last time, and then the wounds were treated. Now it is in good health, and homing can begin! The only thing to be said is that its food is cat food, and Hyötyläinen eats it willingly. Hyötyläinen is estimated to be around ten years old. It is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and dewormed. Despite its age, Hyötyläinen is still playful and affectionate, so a forever home in a house could be a nice cat companion. We will not release cats to roam freely outside.

Kun herra Hyötyläinen tuli löytöeläintalolle, mietittiin, että onko tästä kissasta eläjäksi. Se oli laiha lihaksiton rääpäle, jonka naama oli naarmuinen ja korvat rupia täynnä. Mutta kun sen otti syliin, tarrautui se hellästi kiinni ja alkoi kehräämään. Päätettiin yrittää ja komea kissamies siitä tulikin. Viime viikolla Herra Hanski Hyötyläinen kävi viimeisimman kerran eläinlääkärissä ja silloin hoidettiin hampaat. Nyt on sitten suukin kunnossa ja kodinetsintä voi alkaa! Ainoastaan munuaisissa on sen verran sanomista, että ruokana on munuaisruoka ja Hyötyläinenhän syö sitä oikein mielellään. Hyötyläisen ikäarvio on noin kymmenen vuoden hujakoilla. Se on kastroitu, sirutettu, rokotettu ja madotettu. Hyötyläinen on iästään huolimatta leikkisä ja virkeä kissa, joten loppuelämän kodissa voisi olla kiva kissakaveri. Mikäli kiinnostuit antamaan tälle kissalle kodin, niin laita sähköpostia tulemaan, ja kerro siinä itsestäsi, kodistasi ja kissanpidostasi. Laita viestiin myös puhelinnumerosi ja paikkakunta missä asut. Emme luovuta kissoja vapaina ulkoileviksi.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hyötyläinen, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hyötyläinen?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. MESY — Mikkelin Eläinsuojeluyhdistys handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hyötyläinen on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hyötyläinen if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — MESY — Mikkelin Eläinsuojeluyhdistys will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Hyötyläinen already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Hyötyläinen isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with MESY — Mikkelin Eläinsuojeluyhdistys early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hyötyläinen and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FI). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
